How much deep sleep should you get per night?

In our days, we didn't have trackers to count deep sleep, we just slept when we were tired. About an hour or two of deep rest is good for the body. Don't worry so much, just eat a simple dinner and sleep without worries.

Deep sleep? I am happy if I get even 4 hours of regular sleep these days! But joke apart, experts say we need around 1.5 to 2 hours of deep sleep. If anyone finds out how to get that without quitting my job, please let me know.

I was reading an article that says deep sleep actually declines as you get older. For young adults, it should ideally make up about 20% of your total sleep. Quite fascinating how our brains work during the night.

Usually, 1.5 to 2 hours of deep sleep is considered ideal for a healthy adult.

Taking a warm cup of herbal tea before sleeping helps in getting those 1.5 hours of deep sleep. However, if you are experiencing severe snoring or waking up with a dry mouth constantly, please consult a doctor as it could be a sign of sleep apnea.

Don't rely on random internet blogs or smartwatches that claim to measure your exact deep sleep stages. Sleep architecture is complex. If you have chronic fatigue, see a sleep specialist at a proper clinic to get accurate advice.
